Homemade Lemonade

Ingredients:

• 12 large lemons (for three cups of juice)
• 1-1/2 to 2 cups white sugar (to taste)
• 4 cups cold water
• 1 tray of ice cubes (about 14 cubes)

Instructions:

1. Juice eleven of the lemons – they should yield about 3 cups of lemon juice. Pour the juice into a large pitcher through a strainer to get rid of any seeds and pulp.

2. Slice the remaining lemon into slices and remove any seeds. Set aside.

3. Stir 1-1/2 cups of sugar into the lemon juice until it fully dissolves. Add the water and stir to combine. Adjust the sugar and water to taste if necessary.

4. Empty a tray of ice cubes into the pitcher and add the lemon slices.

5. Enjoy!
